Just picked up one of these as my new company van and it's just a joy to drive. Plenty of power ,great road feel and for a van it rides like no other van I've driven. 413km on the clock and the future looks like a smoother ride .
First of all, great video, I test drove a new Trafic today and this video has broken down a lot of things for me. As someone who's been driving a Staria for almost 12 months as a courier, I hate it. The safety features mentioned are not necessarily practical for commercial use, and the lane assist is horrendous (very inaccurate and sensitive). The Trafic has a more practical loading space, better use of space, than the Staria. There are only floor anchor points in the Staria vs the Trafic, if that's something that is important to you. At the end of the day it all comes down to how you use your van. In my personal opinion Hyundai took a people mover and removed the seats and slapped "commercial" on it. Renault has many years experience with commercial vehicles, and as someone who drove a Master for two years, they've nailed comfort while driving for sure
I was on the fence with this new version, I rented one and did some testing for a few weeks. Worth the cost for my business, I do a lot of travelling, with 1-2 motorcycles in the back, as a support backup unit and its worth it we can add a trailer if we need to, the only thing is to stick to the service routine
Prices have jumped massively since ATECO took over distributorship of Renault to make their LDV vans look cheaper ? The price range they are in now better vans available for the money

Get Rid Of It Mate, Renault Is The Worst, Mechanics Don't Wanna Touch It
@@shayandaryan it's owned by the company I work for and I've done 7000 km in it since delivery . No problemo.
Best van on the road if you are a service tech remote that spends lot of time in the van. Very comfortable and long wheel base sticks to the road.

Picked up mine LWB PREM 2 weeks ago, worth it
I am just about to rent one for a week.
Guess we'll talk after then... 🤷♂
Did you end up renting one?
These were $27K just before the pandemic kicked off… 😢
Does this mean the Mitsubishi express is getting an update ?
they cancelled the express a few months ago. not making any more of it
Now, according to the manufacturer, change the oil every 40,000 km 🤣
there is no sane person who would ever let a motor run to 40k with no oil change...i change mine every 8km.
$48k for the basic.
Hiace or LDV .....
